At Stella

At the Stella McCartney’s resort presentation last week in New York. I loved the volumes…

The attention given to details… (Are you ready to wear suspenders?)

And it reminded me just how much I love menswear. Especially from Stella, who makes my favorite jackets.

And it all works out wonderfully because I’m on my way to Florence (not but literally, on my way. We’re in Italy in our Panda Fiat making our way through Tuscany (yeah, I have a driver’s license)(Yeah, I was surprised too. I totally forgot… !!!) (Pffff a Panda doesn’t hold the road so well!) (What was I thinking renting a Panda? = Because it was sooo cutttteeee!!!) so that I can accompany Scott to Pitti Uomo, the big menswear tradeshow, where you end up wanting to buy everything anyway even though it’s not made for you…

But here’s my woolly headed thought : Beware of the love of menswear. Okay, off we go, I’ll explain that to you oh so soon!

I prefer the menswear inspired looks more too. I hadn’t noticed the suspenders in any of the other photos I have seen from this presentation, I like how they are peeking out from under the white blazer!

OMG I LOVE this look. I’ve just bought THE most beautiful pair of Oxfords and I’m rockin-it!
I’m a massive fan of menswear and these photos are TO DIE FOR! Remember to have some Osso Bucco in Milan or crostoli. Hope you guys have a great time!

:-)))))) you are a freak. I have not often seen a Panda cruising on italian highways with more than 80 km/h :-)) (except the “sport version” with stronger motor).
So I keep my fingers cross for you, that you reach Florence in time…but your entreé will be definetely stylish…
And I am looking forward to your beautiful pitti uomo photos…
Have a great time!

i believe women should have a good taste in menswear too. isn’t it sweet when ladies buy clothes for their male partners and just hit it perfectly? it’s also cute when women wear men’s clothes and make them look as if they are their for them really.

This Stella McCartney outfit has very nice volumes, which is almost a surprise, as I often think her creations are very down-to-earth and unimaginative (well, compared to Lacroix, Gaultier, McQueen, Galliano at least). Perhaps I should see more of her work.

Enjoy Pitti Uomo but remember that the male and female bodies are very differently shaped! Wearing menswear can be alluring but seldom works.

I used to own a 1976 bright yellow Truimph Spitfire convertible, so I understand cute winning over practical. Suspenders on women only work if you are young and have a boyishly flat chest; otherwise they can be a tad vulgar. In Florence, go dine at Leo’s in St. Croce…a simple and wonderful restaurant originally owned by Picasso’s personal chef and built in an old Roman amphitheater. The new owner Mario is a fantastic host! Don’t miss the homemade limoncello!

simply gorgeous! i love stella, by the way what type of camera do you use? I’ve camera shopping and i’m looking for the best and you and your camera take absolutely stunning photos, so i would love to know if you don’t mind.

OMG Fiat Panda, really? They’re still allowed on the roads?
Jackets may be my favorite wardrobe piece, it’s amazing what they do to even some cheap jeans peared up with a white men shirt and booties (wich I just love) or nice heels.
And Stella just does that masculine/feminine style so well….

While I was reading your post, as everyday, I suddenly realised that I never really told you, but I just had to say it;
I LOVE your blog!
It’s the combination of everything coming together. What I admire most, is how you seem to have no problem staying your funny, charming self instead of being blown away with al the attention you get when you’re succesful. But also, how you’ve figured out the perfect lay-out, your beautiful drawings, your stunning foto’s… so, please, PLEASE keep going!!

I love suspenders and truly glad they’re back on business.
One word i would like t drop about Stella McCartney’s brand: i don’t think her design have a visual language, and by that i mean i couldn’t tell that would be her work as the aesthetics don’t have a continuity. For example, we look at Missoni fabric, Jil Sander’s cut or Prada shoes and we know what it is by the aesthetics, by their visuals, they comunicate with you. Well, maybe this is not her priority, but in the fashion world it is extremely important the aesthetics, isn’t it?
Nevertheless, the 2nd shot is great and maybe i’ll drop by at Mayfair to check the trousers, as I’m a big fan of them…
